Need a quiet PSU

[Starusiru-san]

Hello guys,

My current PSU is really noisy and I'd like to buy a new one, so the main focus as stated in the topic is silence. Power usage anything between 550 and 650 W, efficiency higher or equal to 80+ Bronze, doesn't matter if it's modular or not. Can you recommend a few PSUs like that?

Shh, be quiet!

Srsly, be Quiets PSUs are awesome when it comes to noise. They use their new Silent Wings 3 fans, which you can't even buy separately yet.

Those are probably the quietest PSUs you can get.

be Quiet Straight Power 10 and Dark Power Pro are their newest PSUs. But they're a bit more expensive. I think the L8 series also uses their SW3 fans.

Other than that there are a ton of semi-passive PSUs where the fan doesn't even turn on before it reaches a certain temperature or power limit like a lot of Corsair PSUs. But once they turn on, they aren't exactly quiet.

I'm with @Senzelian on Be Quiet power supplies.

i have a RM650 and i can say that is pretty darn quiet, the fan only starts when over 40% (or 50% i dont remember) and is quiet anyways. if you want complete silene under 100% load look up seasonic's fanless model and of course bequiet PSUs

I would go with BeQuiet PSUs, they're known to be quiet *see what i did there*

You can go with an RM power supply, but it isn't a quality product compared to similarly priced alternatives

 

EVGA GS have Eco mode, G2 750/850/1200/1300 etc but not 1000W have Eco mode, XFX XTR have it

Unlike others here i have made some bad experiences with bequiet power supplies regarding silence. Those were the cheap models however, so basically don't get something cheap.

 

A semi-passive PSU would be perfeect for you. Like The EVGA Supernova G2 line.

You could always go with a Rosewill Glacier. I have one and it is absolutely silent. They have both a 600W or a 700W model (incase you need more than 600W) and both are 80+ Bronze certified .

RM are not the only power supplies that have the eco fan feature, and they're overpriced for what you get.

Definitely take a look at the EVGA GS and XFX XTR, both of which have eco fan mode, so the fan doesn't spin up until a certain load and/or temperature range.
